Disclamer: I don't own Gundam seed/ Destiny
It All Started with A Skirt
It was like any ordinary day at the Voltaire. After Commander Yzak Jule had frightened all subordinates into working to death, Shiho Hahnenfuss and Dearka Elsman hung around his office. Yzak stepped into his office seeing Dearka behind his desk doing something with his laptop and Shiho and his couch half sitting half lying, reading a book.
"Hahnenfuss, Dearka!" he hollered
They both looked up to see an angry Yzak, "Yo, Yzak!" Dearka shouted back, grinning then went back to Yzak's laptop. Shiho merely nodded her head to acknowledge him and went back reading. Her feet were also on the couch.
'Don't I get any respect anymore? This is what I get being close, considerate and kind to my subordinates.' He silently sighed. He wasn't in the mood to get angry anymore. His anger was pretty much used up already. Even Shiho stopped calling him 'Commander Jule' unless they were in public. Dearka whether public or private had no respect for him at all. His so-called best friend.
"Dearka, scoot." He said
"Come on, I just found a YOUR fan site. I knew you were a heartthrob but this is just too much." He grinned at him. Shiho looked up, obviously what he said caught her attention. She rushed to Dearka's side.
"Woah! Yzak, these girls are really obsessed. I never knew you were bald when you were a kid." She chuckled at a photo of Yzak, bald with a toothy grin. He was in the verge of exploding. He was not in the mood for Dearka and Shiho's ramblings. This morning, the time he was supposed to report back to Voltaire, He was just cornered by a bunch of fan girls. They were all so slutty that the security had to escort him to the Voltaire safely. The later, he got out of the bridge since he was pissed off by his captain's story about his family. Hell, he even showed him his family portrait. He did not care about others he just wanted to command his ship peacefully.
"You two, get away from my desk." He gritted through his teeth.
"Hey, it's your…uh…" she suddenly burst out laughing with Dearka following her laughter a few moments later.
Yzak stomped to his desk. As he saw the picture his eyes widened. It was a photo of him when he was a kid, his mom dressing him up as a girl. "The hell…" he muttered under his breath.
Shiho clamped her hands over her mouth to stop her laughter. Dearka snickered in the side. Yzak clapped his palm against his forehead, he took a deep breath, controlling his anger just like what he learnt in his Anger Management class. Yzak kicked Dearka off his chair, and Deatka fell chibi-style.
"You could have been gentle." He whined, giving him puppy dog eyes.
"Gentle, my ass. Stop it with the look, its pathetic." He muttered, "No wonder, Milly left you."
"Wrong. We're back together! Yeah!!" he gave Yzak a noogie.
Yzak fixed his platinum hair as he pushed Dearka away. "Now why would she return to you? I guess it was love for you but pity for her." He said sarcastically
"Come on, Yzak. Lighten up. You'll grow older. I see wrinkles already." Dearka chuckled at what he said as he pointed to Yzak's forehead.
"Very funny." He reached out to the intercom. "Yanagi-san, how is it with the restraining order I filed?"
"Sir Jule, its done." A female voice cracked through the speaker
"Bring it in." A woman of early twenties, a year younger Yzak walked in. She was Yzak's newest secretary, after all he scared most of his secretary to death. But Yanagi was different she was formal that Dearka's flattery didn't pass through her. But it was obvious to everyone that she has a crush on her commander it was just that he was too dense to notice. She gave him a salute as she entered.
"At ease." Without looking at her, he continued his work with the laptop. Trying to delete the picture from the web.
"Sir, here it is." She handed him a folder.
"Thanks." He reached out to get folder when his fingers brushed across hers. She blushed like mad.
"Yanagi-san, are you okay?" he asked when he noticed her flushed face, "Why don't you take the night off? You may be coming down with something. You may leave"
"Ye…yes sir." She stuttered. She started walking away when they could hear her mutter, "you can do it, you can do it. You can do it."
"Yanagi-san?" three pairs of eyes stared at her
"Jule-san!" she suddenly turned around, all three were surprised
"Yes?" Yzak answered hesitantly not knowing what was next.
She took a deep breath and shouted, "Will you go out with me, sir?! I liked you for so long that is why I availed for your secretary spot."
Yzak raised a brow. "Uh…okay…" It wouldn't matter to go on a date with his secretary right? She was proper. Or so he thought.
"Thank you sir! See you tonight. This is my address" she smiled, her eyes gleaming as she handed him a piece of paper. Then she skipped out of the room merrily.
"That felt weird, right?" Yzak asked out loud
"Hell yeah" Dearka and Shiho said in unison
Yzak stood in front of her apartment. When he knocked, he was surprised to see Yanagi in revealing clothes. What the hell happened to his prim and proper secretary? What got his attention was her skirt it was multicolored. Still it reminded him of Zaft's female uniform.
"Uh…hi…" he started off
"Hi! Jule-san. Can I call you Yzak-kun instead?" she asked bubbly
"uh…ok…Let's go."
"So how was the date?" Dearka asked him the next morning as he joined Yzak's work out. Yzak was weight lifting in their gym.
Yzak sat up, stuck out his hand and made a thumbs-up. Dearka grinned until Yzak turned his thumbs-up to a thumbs-down.
"What happened?"
As Yzak was about to answer, Shiho entered. "Hey!" she was in a pair of jogging pants and a sleeveless shirt that she uses when she works out.
'Why am I now paying attention to what girls wear anyway?' he asked himself. He noticed that ever since their date.
"How was the date?" she asked as she waved a hand in front of his face, he zoned off.
"It started with this…"
"So Yanagi-san, what are—"
"Just call me Rinko-chan, Yzak-kun."
"ok, Rinko-CHAN what would you have?" his brow twitched but she didn't notice.
"Caesar salad please and fine chopped nuts on top please." she said as she stared at Yzak, her hands cupping her face, then she batted her eyelashes flirtatiously
"for dinner?"he batted his eyelashes back.
"Yes please. I'm watching my weight" She said sweetly.
"fine." He pursed his lip.
He ordered their food, but she still stared at him, smiling. Every time Yzak's gaze landed on her, she would just smile at him, sickly sweet. As they were eating, she kept on asking him personal questions which he was not comfortable answering such as, How many girlfriends have you had? What kind of girls do you like? How is your relationship with your mom, aren't you embarrassed you're like a mama's boy? He kept his mouth in a thin line as they eat, occasionally shrugging off her questions but the talk about his mom was the last straw.
"Look here—"
"Are you still a virgin? Or have you done it already?" she asked him bluntly
He took a deep breath. "Rinko-chan, I think this date is over." he stood up and paid the bill.
"Are you sick?" she rushed to his side, feeling his forehead. Yzak slapped her hand away. "No, I—"
"Don't explain. I'll see you home."
"God she was so dense, I was practically shoving her away." He said exasperated.
Dearka was rolling on the floor laughing. Shiho was snickering at the side. Yzak rolled his eyes. "Very funny, guys."
"I'm heading out." Dearka said as he held his aching stomach from laughing. "By the way, I think she left you breakfast." Yzak groaned in response. "Tough luck" Shiho patted him in the back. She sat across him as she wiped her sweat, "So…" she smirked
"I don't wanna hear it from you. By the way, why don't you wear the female version of the uniform?" he asked
"Why the sudden interest?" she raised a brow.
"No particular reason. It was just when we went out yesterday, she was wearing a skirt somewhat like a female's uniform." He shrugged
"Don't like skirts, that's all."
"By the way, why do girls just eat salad for dinner? I lost my appetite then and there…" he was confused.
"How should I know? I don't go on those diet sprees or whatever you call it. Come on, Let's go. Rinko-chan must be waiting for her Yzak-kun."
"Oh shut up." Her laughter echoed through the halls.
"Yzak-kun, where have you been?" she asked, handing him a bunch of envelops as soon as he showed up
"Somewhere." He checked the envelops one by one
"With Major Elsman?"
"Yeah and Lt. Hahnenfuss."
Her eyes burned with jealousy, "Lt. Hahnenfuss?"
"Yeah…" he threw an envelop down on the table. It was an elegant envelop with gold borders.
"What s that?" she peered over her shoulder
"An invitation to a party." He answered nonchalantly
"Aren't you going?"
"I am, why?"
"Do you need a partner?" she said hinting something
Yzak froze, 'think of an excuse, dumbass,'
"I already have a partner."
"who?" she asked disappointment obvious in her voice
"Lt. Hahnenfuss"
"No." she shook her head at his request.
"Come on, Shiho, I'm desperate…please…"
'he called her by her name and said please, he is desperate' Dearka thought. He was in between his best friends. Shiho was glaring at him while Yzak was pleading. Some scene.
"fine, but…"
"but what?"
"You're gonna treat me to dinner and don't think I'll hold back." Shiho smirked
"Sure. Thank you."
"Dearka, you wanna come along?"
"Can I?" his eyes were shinning
"It's Yzak's treat after all." She grinned
"Uh…there's another issue…" he stared at his hands
"What is it?" Shiho asked
"Well, I said you were my girlfriend and I said you like wearing skirts…"
"I won't do this anymore." She said as Yzak gave her a female uniform with a white miniskirt
"please…"
"No."
"please." Damn his pride was degrading by every second. Every time he said please.
"Damn…Yzak!! You're lucky I'm a good friend. You owe me a LOT!" she stretched out her hand, "Give me the Zaft skirt" Yzak handed her a white miniskirt. She looked at it distastefully. "You really owe me. But I'll handle it."
"Yzak-kun, you're going out?" she asked as Yzak locked his office up
"Yeah. I'm gonna pick up Lt. Hahnenfuss and Major Elsman on the way. Why?"
"Can I come along?" she gave him puppy dog eyes
"I'm sorry, 'coz it's a meeting on classified documents." Damn, he was a great liar.
"Ok…I'll see you tomorrow Yzak-kun"
They were seated in a bar. Actually they ate dinner in a prestige restaurant, Shiho's choice of course, then headed to the local bar.
"So what is your plan?" Dearka asked
"Make her fall out of love with me." He stated simply
"And how are you gonna do that?"
"uh…that's the thing. I don't know how. That's why you're here Dearka. You think of a plan, you are skilled in that." Yzak tipped his bottle.
"This is gonna take awhile." Shiho muttered as Dearka was busy telling Yzak all kinds of strategies.
Shiho was talking to a subordinate when she was suddenly pulled into a room, "Eh?!"
"Lt Hahnenfuss?" her subordinate was looking for her, "Eh? She's gone." Then she walked away
The hand in her mouth fell away. "What is it?!" she snatched back her arm from whoever was holding her. The room was dark. She punched whoever it was in the chest.
"Damn it, Shiho, its me" she could see a pair of icy blue eyes looking back at her. He flipped on the lights. His hand on his chest where she punched him.
"Yzak, you could just at least call me, not pretend to be some attacker. What is it now?" waiting for him to reply. In her surprise he pulled out a skirt. "You didn't wear it, I thought you were going to help me?" he looked so dismayed that he looked like a lost puppy
She sighed. "I forgot about it, okay? Fine give it to me, I'll change now."
She got out of the bathroom, pulling the skirt lower, "I really hate you now."
"Don't be silly, you look good. The skirts not gonna grow any longer. Stop pulling on it."
"No, I really hate you. You owe me a lot. I'm gonna make you pay." She told him
"Then I'll be waiting for that time to come." He smirked at her predicament. But she did look good. Great in fact. The skirt showed her long legs that made her look taller. The uniform hugged her in all the right places, showing off her curves. The uniform made her amethyst eyes stand out. He never paid attention to her, but she is pretty.
"Yzak?" she waved her hand in front of his face. He snapped out of his trance. "Good, I thought you were captivated by my beauty." She teased, "Let's go."
"Yeah…" he sad quietly, 'Was I captivated by her beauty? Impossible, there's no beauty.'
"So, the party is tomorrow, I'm going with you and Dearka's going with Milly. And what is this party about?" Shiho recapped, as they were eating lunch at the cafeteria.
"It's about some treaty thing between Athrun and his girlfriend. You do have a dress don't you?"
"Nope." She said, not caring. "Hey, Lt. Hahnenfuss, looking good." A soldier called out.
"Thanks." She smiled at them
"Lt., I need a date, can you give me one?" another asked her
"Lt., I never knew you were a girl, would you go out with me?"
"I love you, you look like an angel who descended on earth."
"Shut up, guys." She grinned at them. They were her newest rookies. They were close to her. She is their instructor at close combat.
Yzak and Dearka raised their brows, "What?" she asked
"Aren't you disturbed?" Yzak asked
"About what they said? Nope, they're kidding. I'm pretty much used to it anyway." She answered. Something didn't sit right with Yzak. It just felt wrong, really wrong.
"Lt., we're going to shop for a dress after lunch." Dearka said as he imitated her rookies.
"Shut it, shop for a dress?" she asked when suddenly Rinko entered the cafeteria. Yzak suddenly clasped her hands, "You're finish, let's go."
Now it was Dearka and Shiho's turn to raise their eyebrows. "What?"
"Play along, she's here." Shiho then understood. She stood up and linked her arm with Yzak's and called over her shoulder, "See you outside, Dearka."
Rinko looked up just to see Yzak and Shiho exiting the room, 'Hahnenfuss, you are going to pay. I saw him first.' She flipped her cell phone open and dialed a number, "Papa, I want something…You will help me, won't you?"
Dearka caught up to them, "Great acting, Shiho" he gave her two thumbs-up
"Thank you," taking a bow. Then they both burst out laughing. "Shiho, you like Yzak don't you?"
"haha. Not another word, he's here. " She said sarcastically, then Yzak brought his car upfront. "Get in." Shiho sat on the passenger's seat while Dearka sat on the back seat.
"So where we off to?" Shiho asked as she opened the roof to Yzak's convertible.
"To shop for your dress."
"Ms., she'll try these dresses."
"Yes, Mr. Jule."
Shiho came out of the dressing room dressed in a pink balloon dress. Yzak choked on his drink and Dearka was laughed out loud, "Obviously, I look stupid. I told you I don't like dresses. Another laugh from you Dearka, I'm gonna kick you where the sun doesn't shine." She threatened as she stomped back in to put on another dress.
She came out in a black dress with frills. "No. too lacy…"
Next, she came out in a cocktail dress. "It's too rugged for a formal party. No."
Her temper was rising. She wanted to get out of here. Do lots of paper works than give a fashion walk to Yzak and Dearka. She put on a simple dress but with a slit from her thigh running down to the floor.
"This one is pretty good, Yzak." Dearka observed
"Yeah, unless you want everyone, in the party, peeping at her. The next one" Yzak said. Shiho stomped back to the room. Dearka smiled at Yzak's reaction, 'Oh, he is dense.'
"Yzak, you like her don't you?"
"Very funny, Dearka." He ignored him after.
'Get on with it, Yzak.' Dearka hoped
She came out, wearing a halter neck, white elegant long chiffon dress. She glared at him, as if threatening him to say another word and he's dead. Yzak smirked. "This is fine." Then he said to the saleslady, "I'll get this."
